Rick West, a county highway engineer who also serves as public works director for Otter Tail County, announced the highway lighting plan to county board members on May 8. The work will begin later this summer and is expected to be completed by the end of September.

"We're please to see that the federal government will cover 90 percent of the necessary funding for these projects," said West. "The remaining 10 percent is local responsibility, namely Otter Tail County."

Highway intersections, after the new lighting is installed, will be safer for area residents near Perham, Henning, Battle Lake and other areas.
